Sockapalooza Update

I have gotten some yarn skeined off so that I can try my hand at hand-dying. Since my swift is MIA, I used my next best option: my Beka 4.5 yard warping board. 120 wraps has given me enough for a pair of socks plus. The only kink was when I had to separate the whole mess so make sure nothing was sticking to anything. My arms aren't THAT long.

Wow

Get a new browser and I go post-crazy. I guess it's better than going postal.

I have my pal for Sockapalooza, and I can't wait to get started. I think Leigh and I are going to get together and hand dye some wool I have laying around the house. Now that I'm unemployed, and she is getting ready to start college, money is tight.

I feel kind of sorry for her right now. Prom is this coming Saturday, and she has strep. And is allergic to penicillin. And Zithromax. So she is on tetracycline. Slow to work. She told me today that come hell or high water she was going to prom and she was going to look good. She can collapse later.

I need to start a knitting stash for her to take to college. She's going to live in the dorms, and she is not going to rush a sorority (thank FSM), so she'll need something to do when she's not studying or eating. She has knitting in class down already.

This is not getting my laundry done. But, I have all day tomorrow, right?
